5.00Hose the guide was very knowledgable and a fun character to run the tour. The Mosque-Cathedral was so impressive and quite extraordinary. I learnt alot from the tour and would definitely recommend it, as there is so much history surrounding this building and it has many different iterations over the centuries.

4.00Probably the least organized tour we’ve been on in Spain. The head phone was constantly staticy (which we know happens on and off but this was the whole tour) The information was good and the guide was nice.
Disorganised and dismissive

2.00The tour operator didn’t send any joining instructions so it meant we went to the wrong queue initially and then had to figure out the meeting place by ourselves. Guide was dismissive when we finally found him. The site is incredible though, especially the science behind the original mosque architecture.
Unique piece of history in Cordoba

5.00It was great and I appreciated that our guide intertwined her own stories and experiences as well as the historical and archeological information. She also gave us time to explore on our own. It was great!
